n Monday November 17 2008, Mitch Booth and Pim Nieuwenhuis extended their lead at the Aruba Heineken Catamaran Regatta. The Dutchmen took both bullets in again tricky sailing conditions on the Caribbean Sea. Pols/De Waard and Zanen/Heemskerk are tied on ten points, with Pols/De Waard still in second position. It was old style racing today, as the race committee decided to go for a tri-angle course.

ne week from now we will be starting our first WSSRC ratified record period. We have been spending the last couple of weeks preparing for it. This includes making all the preperations for the WSSRC official, the timing systems, the people to document it all... and the specific detailing of the boat itself. So far I think it's all working out OK.
